final (for now?) show<\/a>, and Martin is already center stage again, now through her collaboration with the Tennessee-based producer Violents, aka Jeremy Larson.<\/p>\nSimply billed as Violents and Monica Martin, the duo today released a debut full-length, Awake and Pretty Much Sober<\/em>, via Partisan Records. It abandons PHOX\u2019s more twee tendencies, instead marrying Martin\u2019s sultry vocals to Violents\u2019 laid-back programming.<\/p>\nAwake and Pretty Much Sober<\/em> is very much a sonic sibling to another great PBR&B album to come out this year, Sampha\u2019s Process<\/em>. Like the longtime SBTRKT collaborator, Violents creates spacey, almost blooming soundscapes that could provide the soundtrack to a cocktail party in outer space. \u201cEqual Powers\u201d is the kind of free-floating jam that melts into its surroundings, as if it\u2019s always been there.<\/p>\n
